After a lengthy hiatus due to health matters, Adrian returns to the mic in a conversation with comic book inker Marc Deering. Deering is an industry veteran with a career spanning over a decade in the business. He's brought his superb touch to titles such as Superman, GI Joe, Miranda Mercury, Justice League and Supergirl and worked with Marvel, DC Comics, IDW, and Archaia to name a few.

Marc and I discuss 'breaking in' to comics as an inker, tools of the craft, the mental aspect of inking and using digital tools in your inking workflow.

Also, as a new ongoing addition, we are including Show Notes starting with this episode here on the site. These notes will be time-marked according to their appearance in the conversation so feel free to take a look before or while you listen to see examples of what is being discussed. Scroll down and take a look!

Judge Dredd - Inked by Deering over Kelsey Shannon (and is one of Adrian's favorite pieces by Marc EVER).

Green Lantern - Inked by Deering over penciller Ryan Benjamin.

Wonder Woman - Inked by Deering over Jim Lee pencils.

SHOW NOTE - (21:32): The art team of penciler Joe Madureira and inker Tim Townsend made their huge mark on 'Uncanny X-Men' in the late 1990s; ushering a slick, manga-influenced style to mainstream comics. This is the original art for the cover of the issue that Marc and I mention.

SHOW NOTE - (1:02:31): Marc mentions starting to ink some of his professional work using an iPad Pro and the Procreate app. Here are actual screenshots from Marc showing the same.
